5 Ways to Know Your Carpet Needs Cleaning

You may wonder if you can just go a little longer without paying a professional carpet cleaner to come to your home and refresh your carpets. What people don’t realize is that delaying your carpet to be cleaned another day can actually cause the day you need to rip out your carpet to come sooner than it should. There are a few sure-fire ways you can know it is time to clean your carpet. So here are 5 ways to know your carpet needs cleaning:

1. Time

This is by far the easiest one if it has been more than 24 months since your last cleaning then you really may want to consider getting your carpets cleaned. Over time dust, dirt, and grime get smashed into your carpet into places your vacuum cannot reach. When you come to Zerorez, we reach deep into your carpets using our powerful counter-rotating brushes that pull these damaging particles out of your carpet. We then, of course, use our extraction wands that go even further to cleanse the fibers. It’s kind of like resetting your carpet to factory settings, giving your threads a break from dirt and increasing the life of your carpet.

2. Discoloration Compared to Non-Traffic Areas

This is one of the best ways to determine if it is time to give your floors the attention they deserve. Take a really good look at your carpet, then move a piece of furniture you have not moved in a long time or open a closet that does not get any traffic and take a look at it. If it has been a while since your last cleaning, you will notice discoloration or darkness to the traffic areas of your carpet as opposed to the non-traffic areas. Remember this discoloration is caused by particles that may also be damaging to your health, carpet cleaning is not just about looks you know! Removing this discoloration is eliminating pollens, dust, and bacteria that have built up over the years.

3. Your Allergies Are Acting Up.

We touched on this just a little bit above, but if your allergies are acting up it may not only be the season. Your carpets may be hiding your allergy problems within the fibers of the floor. Asthma has actually been linked to dirty carpets, so do your body a favor (and your carpets of course) and get them cleaned so you can get back to breathing clean air again instead of pushing up problems every step you take.

4. It Looks Like it Needs to Be Replaced

You may be saying to yourself, “I don’t know that my carpet can be saved.” That just may not be the case. You would be surprised by the things Powered Water has been able to clean through. Don’t give up on your carpets without at least trying getting them cleaned, and with our Gotta Love It Guarantee if you are not satisfied with the results of your cleaning within 30 days of us being at your home we will come out again to make sure the job is done right.

5. Smell

If you have carpets that smell we get that all the time, no problem that we can’t fix. Accidents happen all the time from all sorts of things. Spilled milk that is not wholly (see what I did there) cleaned will seep into the base of your flooring and leaving a strong sour smell for a long time. Pets and small children will have accidents that we are reminded of each time we walk into our homes. Our Odor treatment package can remove these and many other smells caused by a variety of things, you do not have to rip up your carpet and replace it, we can get your carpet smelling fresh, and if you want, we can even seal it with a protectant.
